Here is the link to the challenge;

Let me translate, for the correct answer, 50-points is French for a 5 min time bonus.

Now, DO WORK, G6'ERS and let's show Mr. Wills our car smarts.

That is a vent, used by drag racers to let the smoke out of the car after the burn out.

[DRIVNMF]

Okay, Mr. Wills, here is my educated quess, (hehehehe)...

That is a Pro Carbon Kevlar window vent which helps lower the pressure of the car interior and allows the standard cooling vents or roof vents to work better.

I'll take my 5 min time bonus now, sir!

a little history i looked up to see what the G6 has evolved into and to remember how many came out for Parker's 2nd try at scaler fagness(is that a word).


The Nevada G6 Challenge pitted scale drivers against 2 rigorous stages of scale rally trials that tested both man and machine.

Here are the first ever G6 results:

Stage 1

1. Skeeno..........38:10
2. Danial............38:30
3. Parker............38:42
4. Rhett.............40:40
5. Jeremy...........41:26
6. Brad..............46:09
7. Stuart...........48:22
8. John..............51.40
9. Cole...............1:25:44
10. Steve..........2:00:00
11. Hi-C............2:00:00

Average time for Stage 1.....43:27*

Stage 2

(no stage 2 times due to equipement failure)


Stage 3

1. Rhett...........30:04
2. Jeremy.........36:02
3. Skeeno.........38:02
4. Stuart..........39:17
5. Brad.............39:38
6. Cole.............40:04
7. John.............40:16
8. Danial...........43:30
9. Parker..........2:00:00
10. Steve.........2:00:00
11. Hi-C...........2:00:00

Average time for Stage 2.......38:31*

G6 Overall

1. Rhett............1:10:44
2. Skeeno..........1:16:12
3. Jeremy..........1:17:28
4. Danial............1:22:00
5. Brad.............1:25:47
6. Stuart...........1:27:39
7. John..............1:31:56
8. Cole...............2:05:38
9. Parker............2:38:42
10.Steve............4:00:00
11. Hi-C.............4:00:00

Average overall G6 time.....1:22:00*

Thanks to all the drivers, volunteers, and spectators for the making the first ever G6 an event that will always be etched in RECON history.

* Average times are based on 8 drivers, not all 11 due to several DNF's on the stage.

WOW! A flood of memories from that 1st G6. A little known fact for your factologists; After driving WarPigs infamous scaler and not wanting to give the controller back, I was hooked.

Thank you, Tim for trusting me behind the pistol of one of the sickest rigs I've ever driven.

G6'ers, we are 2 weeks and a weeks and a wake up away from the Birthday Bash G6.

Until then, I have found the true definition of a teaser...

It will be like hanging out in Socal on a normal day.. You won't be able to see the mountains that are a 100 yrds away and your lungs will feel like they are bleeding ... Added challenge..

Fires out, the snow last night helped a lot.

Although Parker is sad because he wanted to have us drive through the fire while he puts 5 gallons of gas on the sled instead of the normal weights.

It dusted some snow last night. But today so far looks pretty nice.
They are saying that most of the people that got evacuated should be going home soon.

Looking better and RECON is keeping everyone that was affected by the fire in our thoughts and prayers. The last thing we want is a damper on the Birthday Bash, it's all most time to get "jiggy" with it!

Tru Dat, but the mountains on the beach in So-Cal are always in my view!

You know your right and I thought you were going to let it slip that the drivers challenge is going to be a fire walk across hot coals. Opps, can't use that now that it is out of the bag....damn!

Well G6ers, We are soon to have another young G6er joining in our fun.
I am building my 12 year old Boy a HONCHO. He followed me through Haunted Rock Park. Afterwords all I heard about was how cool it was, and how much he wants to do it. So I'm building him one for a Christmas suprise. Thanks to Brad and Cole Bailey for helping me out with parts. Also to TREE for his help aswell. You guys all ROCK!!
